Affluent
life is a cherished life irrespective of your philosophy about life or spending
generally. No one likes abject poverty and when you have the privilege to have wealth,
spending it is another strategic thinking.

These superstars
know how to spend part of their affluent whenever the occasion calls. Is either
he is buying her an island or she is buying him a Bugatti Veyron.For this summer vacation, the couple is planning

It was highly touching as the young, innocent and
handsome Usher’s stepson finally laid to rest in the blossom of the Lord (this ceremony took place over the week). Kile
was a victim of the tragic jet ski accident that occurred in Georgia on July
6.

After the incident Kile was in the hospital for a while
under life support machine before he died on Saturday after the decision of his
family to remove the life support machine.

His funeral took place at Wieuca
Road Baptist
Church, Atlanta, GA 30326, United States.
Tameka Foster, the mother and ex-wife of Usher has setup a fund in memory of
his late son. The Kile Glover Fund is set to increase water safety through
implementing laws, policies and education.

I stumbled on this and I will like to share it with
my audience. It is a comprison between the so called Heavy weight producer and
artiste in Nigeria.
Though, I am not really an advocate of the analysis because I believe both have
their individual qualities.

Don
JazzyThe acclaimed producer was the first to hit the ground running, literally.
Immediately after Mo’Hits was pronounced dead, Don Jazzy unveiled his new
record label, Mavin Records, with a formidable line up of artistes including Dr
Sid, Wande Coal, D’Prince and surprisingly, Tiwa Savage. Subsequently, he
released the Mavin Records’ collaborative album, Solar Plexus.

If he thought the album would typically send music fans dancing a storm, Don
Jazzy must be rethinking its timing, which has been panned and pilloried by
critics as a hurriedly put together job. Not even Wande Coal and Tiwa Savage’s
combined talents could rejuvenate the album’s stillbirth.

In view of the lukewarm reception Solar Plexus received, the producer has
been reaching out to fans by, on one occasion, doling out money on twitter and
visiting media houses in a sustained publicity drive.

The above caption must be a joke.
If it is not, I bet you this is the kind of drama Nigeria requires in order to clean
this land from the havoc of the so called Vampires in power.

According to online media, some
of the high profile suspects arraigned on Wednesday for stealing $6.8 billion
oil subsidy funds have sent a strong warning to President Goodluck Jonathan to
desist from prosecuting them or face a full disclosure of how they funneled
close to $1 billion towards his 2011 presidential campaign through the oil
resources minister Diezani Allison-Madueke and the Minister for the Niger
Delta, Godsday Orubebe.

One of the accused oil company
M.D, Adaoha Ugo-Ngadi (Ontario
oil and gas), claimed:

An 11-year-old boy
took a flight to Rome on his own from Manchester Airport without a passport or boarding
pass, it has been revealed.

Liam Corcoran passed through
security without being checked, before making his way on to the Jet2.com flight
on Wednesday.

A Manchester Airport
spokesman said: "This extremely serious matter is now being urgently
investigated by officials from the airport and airline."It is clear that
documentation has not been checked correctly at security and the boarding gate.

"The boy went through full
security screening so the safety of passengers and the aircraft was never
compromised."We are now making
preparations to ensure that his return to the UK is handled sensitively to avoid
any distress."

Goldie,
one of the Nigeria
representatives and the newly evicted members of the ongoing BigBrother Reality
Show, had expressed her unreserved apologies to her fans after realizing her
mistakes during her stay on BigBrother Show.

Below is her
apology:

“I want to tell Nigerians that I am so sorry. I
am human just like everyone. I am an extremely emotional person. Everybody has
two sides.

What we entertainers represent on stage is different from who we are off stage.

And I didn’t go into the Big Brother StarGame with any strategy. I went in
there as an individual and just to be my real self. And that’s
what Africa saw. I didn’t go into that house
as Goldie, the performer; I was in there as Susan. Fortunately, my teeming fans
got to see the
human side of me and not the woman they see on stage,”

In
2011, the Senate passed an anti gay bill kicking against same sex marriage. The
bill called for a 14-year sentence for anyone convicted of homosexuality.
The bill also stipulated a 10-year imprisonment for anyone who aids or “abets”
same-sex unions.

For
these two top Nollywood actresses, the Senates are just bragging because they
would not stop to profess an undying love for each other.

A
source close to these two actresses swore that they have been practicing
lesbianism whenever one of their husbands was not in town.

As we were reliably hinted,
one of the actresses involved in this dirty act was married this year. Her
wedding had political and society heavyweights in attendance. Her partner in
crime was also present at her wedding.

This
actress being described is not new in lesbianism practices. She has been
reported severally to be involved in this ungodly act.

Mary
Onyali-Omagbemi and Bose Kaffo have featured in five Olympic Games, but Segun
Toriola will this month in London inscribe his name in history as the first
Nigerian and African to make a sixth appearance at the world’s biggest sporting
event. Toriola’s record in Africa is
unequalled. He has a quite stunning 20 medals of which 14 are gold and he has
won the Men’s Singles title on four occasions. At the 1995 All Africa Games in Harare, Zimbabwe,
he won and four years later, he retained the title in Johannesburg;
in 2003, he succeeded in Abuja and in 2007, in Algeria.
At Maputo 2011, he relinquished the title to Egypt’s Omar Assar. Also, Toriola
has a most distinguished record in the African Championships and African Cup,
while he became the first ever Men’s Singles winner when table tennis made its
debut at the Commonwealth Games in Manchester 2002. Since making his debut at
the 1992 Barcelona Olympics in Spain,
Toriola has been present in Atlanta, Sydney, Athens and Beijing. At the Beijing
2008 Olympic Games in China,
his performance was one of the highs of the games when he also became the first
Blackman and African to play in the last 32 of the Olympics. Toriola, who plies
his trade in France,
said yesterday that he never expected that he would be playing in his sixth
Olympics having started as a teenager in 1992: The

High Interest Rate Compounding Nigeria’s Debt Burden – Experts: The Central Bank of Nigeria’s
12 per cent benchmark interest rate is one major factor that has led to the
increased debt burden facing the country, experts have said. They noted that
until the CBN reviewed the Monetary Policy Rate downward, Nigeria might keep finding it tough
to reduce its debts, whether domestic or foreign. According to them, the
inability of manufacturers and businesses in the real sector to obtain loans
with ease has slowed activities in the private sector. This, they said, had
direct consequences on the incomes of both government and private sectors. The
Chief Executive Officer, Economics Associates, Dr. Ayo Teriba, observed that
the Minister of Finance was right when she said the nation’s debt burden was
worrisome. He explained that the CBN’s recurrent policy changes on MPR had not
helped the country, stressing that the finance minister needed to call the bank
to order: The Punch, Page 23.
